why would CBS sue over someone paying to have a banner flown? i can't see that they would win in court any more then they would win if they sued over the DieHard banner. LOL

Read the fax they apparently sent him. It's part of the article.

I swear I do think BB has something to do with this banner. They have never let the players mention the banners before have they?

They don't have to win in court. Small companies can't afford to fight it, so CBS still 'wins'. And so the banner company has already proclaimed. They won't be flying any more over the BB house.

They mentioned the banners all of the time in the first two seasons. Players mention banners but they don't usually get to see them. They haven't allowed them to see them since the second season but they couldn't do anything about it this time because it changed the game and therefore they pretty much had to mention it.

i'm sure there are more banner flying companies out there if someone wants one flown.
you are exactly right, karuuna, that small company can't afford the fight even though i think he would win.

I'm not sure any small advertisers could afford to fight CBS on this. Face it, even if they wanted to, CBS could probably get an injunction for this season while it was decided, so they'd effectively stop them anyway.

Why would CBS sue the banners people when they profited from the banner by displaying it on their own tv show and not one quick view of it but 2 or 3 times showing us a zoomed in banner just so you have plenty of time to read what it said... seems to me they don't care to show that Eric is a liar... fact of the matter is, the banner created a much needed drama in the house and that's all they're after, they may want to thank the people who sent the banner.

Thank goodness that the person responsible has been named


Actually, only the company and pilot were named. The comment added about "sources" was purportedly from EOnline, and if you go search that site, there is nothing there about banners.

Well, yeah, there's that. I think a lot of "accusations" were pointing towards Janelle, yes?

Seems I remember in year one that the plane company had their own website and listed all the banners sent to the bb house. Do I live in a dream land or does someone else remember it? Maybe we can go there again.

I hope the buyer will be named as he/she is responsible for ruining the game and America's Player!

If I were a part of another major television network, I would make sure the person that sent that banner would be known.

I found this info on the banner flyer:
>>...sources say that Hider and his company Blue Yonder Air were hired by a small media company called bcb Media Partners. The company located near Birmingham, Alabama (Oxford, Alabama) and owned by Will Estell- who is a known prankster of types in the media business- takes part in many legitimate media endeavours for larger companies that they contract to for advertising, editorial and public relations. The sources also say that Estell just thought it would be funny to "blow the cover" on the show, thus searched out and found someone- Hider and his company- to do it.
Apparently he doesn't care that it will cost the network millions if he succeeds in this. Estell was not available for comments when we called him earlier today <el> The sources now say it was definitely Estell and his company bcb Media who had this done and that they are not giving up. Apparently they have two other companies helping now and though Hider and his operation might be out of the loop they are not giving up on "exposing the BB secret". Will Estell and bcb Media in Oxford, AL have done things like this before and normally do it with the help of a few other "media trixsters" who operate with money pooled from some big wigs from business, entertainment and media central who think its really funny to pull off things like this. One of the main sources (who prefers to stay in the dark) says, "If this is the work of Will Estell and his buddies, they won't stop until they pull this off, they never do". And the sources also says that you can bet these guys are getting paid BIG for doing this.<<

"This info on the banner plane" is a comment posted in response to the article link above. It was a comment to an article on TMZ. And the "commenter"? Say EOnline, but if you go to Eonline, there's nothing there about banners.

So a COMMENT on an article posted at TMZ doesn't make it fact. Sorry.

I didn't say it was a Fact, I said it was Info. I didn't get that from TMZ either, it was sent to me in an email, but I went to TMZ and it said pretty much the same thing.

They did not show them talk about Nerd Herd on the TV show, but they did talk about it on the live feed. I listened to Dick and Daniele discussing it. Dick asked Dani to refresh his memory about what the Nerd Herd was. Dani told him it is not a good thing.

How about a banner that says:

"DICK AND DANI ARE LIARS - NOT ESTRANGED - DANI ONLY 20 YEARS OLD."

Sunday, August 05, 2007 - 4:49 pm Edit Post Move Post Delete Post View Post Send Sanfranjoshfan a private message Print Post "Almost" didn't include me! I was against the banners in BB2.

edited to add - I'll admit that I remember laughing at the banner that upset Nicole, but that wasn't a banner that was giving up any HG secrets or their game play. It was a banner from her live-in boyfriend who was upset about her shennanigans with Will in the hot tub.


I liked the banners back in BB2. I actually remember the one that was sent to Nicole. Even though I remember thinking it served her right. He wasn't her boyfriend he was her husband, newlywed. She canceled her honeymoon to be on the show.

I felt so bad for him. He was a member here at that time and posted a lot.

I am thinking that is the banner that caused the no more banner BB rule. It ended up possibly costing her the HOH and sent her to bed to be medicated until the end of the show.

I am sure someone will remember the exact wording better then me. What I can remember it was something along the lines of "Will & Nicole in Hot Tub, Disappointed. Jeff".
